All your leaders have fled together [with your king],
And have been captured without the bow [which they had thrown away];
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
Though they had fled far away.

Therefore I say, “Look away from me;
Let me weep bitterly.
Do not try to comfort me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

For the Lord God of hosts has a day of panic and of tumult, of trampling, of confusion
In the Valley of Vision,
A [day of] breaking down walls
And a crying [for help] to the mountain.

All your leaders have fled(A) together;

All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
    having fled while the enemy was still far away.
Therefore I said, “Turn away from me;
    let me weep(C) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    over the destruction of my people.”(D)

The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day(E)
    of tumult and trampling(F) and terror(G)
    in the Valley of Vision,(H)
a day of battering down walls(I)
    and of crying out to the mountains.
